Which Alabama city is the most southern when it comes to lifestyle, accent, and food?

I voted Montgomery. Birmingham and Huntsville have lots of transplants, and Mobile is getting it's share lately too.

I think that Birmingham and Mobile come next, especially Birmingham. I watch the news everyday, and I see some of the most country people I have ever seen. Mobile is after Birmingham; then, Huntsville. To be honest, all of Alabama cities are country and southern.

When it comes to accent, lifestyle ,and food:
1.Montgomery and that will never change.
2.Mobile because it's able to hold to its southern roots while grow.#1 in food.
3.Birmingham just go there and meet people, regardless of it's size very southern.
4.Huntsville trust me I live here. And it's not southern.

I have family members who live in Huntsville, and one of them just had a baby. I said I bet you your baby is going to be proper. She looked at me funny, and said, "Don't nobody in Huntsville talk propa, expect fa da folks who move here from somewhere else! It's still in Alabama!" She is partly right because I've been there numerous and heard people talk more country than me.

Well it's very a small percentage and it's a different accent.
I have many friends from Huntsville and it's a difference.
But Huntsville is a different type of Alabama city due to the way it was formed.If you just go through the city and see how the nieghborhoods where formed.There are black nieghborhoods but very small compared to the other big three Alabama cities.Huntsville is 30% black but i think most of that percentage is made up of transplants.

How different is the accent because I'm telling you, I have heard it for myself everywhere I went?

Well you might have to stay here to notice the Huntsville accent.
They dont use certain words up here that are used in other parts Alabama mainly Birmingham on down and they also have developed there own slang here.I dont know where you are from but people from Huntsville tell me all time about how different Montgomery people talk compared to them.

I'm saying like what kind of accent is it? It is southern or a little northern or mixed?
